SUMMER LOVES.

Woman should not love unbidden:
Woman's heart should not wait for win
ming,
Woman's fondness should be hidden
Lack of pride is almost SHINING.
Let him linger daily near thee:
Let him all but vow he loves thee.
Tho thou whisper he will hear thee;
But let not his passion move thee.
Let him think thy song the sweetest
Let him call thy name the dearest,
And thy little foot the neatesi-
Till his ardor quite thou fearest
Let him praise thy newest bonnet,
And the dainty heafit graces:
Touch perhaps the flower upon it.
And admire thy fay'rite laces.
Let him speak of life as growing
Northier. nobler, since he knew thee:
But beware-there is no knowing
In what light he II shortly view thee.
In the spring love goes Maying;
But. oh foolish maid, remember,
Summer loves, it is the saying,
Often die before December.

There is but one bird sings like thatl
From Paradise ii flew,
Out to the world, with warering plumage
gay,
When ON creations glad, awakening day
The morning wore the dew.
1t is not nightingale or lark.
Oh, a diyiner bird,
In moon-touched forests, sweet with night
and dew
In dawn-stirred meadows, when the spring
goes, though,
Its voice was never heard.
Its nests In bows of endless bloom,
Nowhere, that we can see.
The winds have never found it, and the
rain
Of wasting autumns beat the leaves in
vain
On that immortal tree.
Its age-its country. No man knows.
Born for the worlds delight
No bird that goes through splendors of the
dawn,
Or homeward comes down quiet twilights
T." drawn,
Has wings for such far flight.
Can no one find it, All the world
Is seeking it-afar.
Each in his turn has cried. 10, it is mine ~
Oh, bitter-sweet. Still is the joy divine
